Zusammenfassung
This paper is a study of families involved in cross-racial adoptions,
in this case American parents who adopted children of Korean heritage.
The primary focus of the analysis is the recognition, acceptance, and/or
emphasis of Korean culture by the adoptive family and the child. Building
on David Kirk's work a theoretical model that looks at strains inherent
in the cross-racial adoptive situation and intervening variables that may
affect reactions of the family to these stresses is hypothesized. Little
support for the model is found. Possible reasons for this failure are discussed, and an alternative analysis of the data is presented.
